CaixaBank

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: CaixaBank, S.A. offers a range of banking products and financial services both in Spain and internationally, with a market capitalization of €37.82 billion.

Operations: CaixaBank, S.A.'s revenue is primarily derived from its Banking segment (€10.67 billion), followed by Insurance (€1.83 billion), the Portuguese Investment Bank (BPI) (€1.21 billion), and the Corporate Center (€153 million).

Dividend Yield: 5.7%

CaixaBank's dividend yield ranks in the top 25% of Spanish payers, with a current payout ratio of 76.2% covered by earnings and expected to improve to 58.6% in three years. Despite a history of volatile dividends, payments have grown over the past decade. Recent financials show robust earnings growth, but high non-performing loans (2.6%) and low bad loan allowances (72%) pose risks. A €500 million share repurchase program is underway amid government stake management efforts.
